Good kid's book
« on: May 02, 2006, 09:38:37 pm »
Ok, so I enjoyed it too but it is a GREAT young teen historical fiction book called Seaman: The Dog Who Explored the West with Lewis and Clark.  It is about a Newfy who goes on the expedition.  Seaman was a real dog mentioned in the diaries of Lewis, Clark and others, but much of the info in the book is made up.  Still fun reading and good history as well.  The book does tell you which events were listed in the diaries - actually quite a few.

I love this book and actually am planning on getting the entire series of Seaman's adventures. The pictures are great and the stories are well told.
